I cant upload photos on the internet network im using. i'll keep trying to get them up guys. Got more progress though, sanded and primer all the way around the back. Only thing left is the passenger side and get ready for paint.

I was also thinking about finding a set of maybe the 16" chrome Dodge rims.

Replaced both u-joints, now i think i have a bent driveshaft. Its got a huge dent in it ans replacing the u-joints just made it shake worse! then i took my first dive into /6 mechanics. All i can say is F%^k you Chrysler and your intertwined intake exhaust setup. oh yes and ive got about 6 broken studs and bolts. Time to start looking for a new manifold set up.

Can't beat the reliability of them though.
I had a /6 in an 85 I used to own and was very lucky everything was hunky-dory on it.

It is in the shop now being re-tubed.
